Trade dollars were one dollar silver coins issued by various nations for use in international transactions, predominantly during the 19^th century. The vast majority of these trade dollars were used when the birth of global trade occurred in China during the mid-to-late 1800s. Britain’s trade dollar was the result of war.

As China fought back against Britain selling opium to its citizens in the 19^th century, two Opium Wars were fought. The result was a British victory, the loss of Hong Kong (ceded to Britain), and an influx of outside trade dollars. The United States and France struck and released trade dollars, with the British Trade Dollar featuring the iconic image of Britannia on its primary face.
